Permanent additions to land can also be categorized as what?

Permanent additions to land are often categorized as improvements. Improvements refer to significant enhancements made to a property that increase its value or utility, such as buildings, roads, or landscaping. These are typically fixtures or components that are installed on the land to enhance its functionality or aesthetic appeal.

While fixtures are closely related, as they are items affixed to the property that can be considered improvements, the term "improvements" broadly encompasses a wider range of enhancements beyond merely fixtures. "Properties," however, does not have the same specific connotation related to improvements or alterations made to land, as it can refer to land in general, including various types of real estate assets. Thus, identifying permanent additions specifically as "improvements" captures the full scope of changes made to enhance the land.
